Macron: “We must civilize France” and “Less immigration”. Fear of defeat moves him to the right
Macron is increasingly embracing "right-wing" policies, a sign that his political position, tendentially liberal socialist, is now losing in a country that increasingly desires identity and security.
In his interview with Le Point , on Wednesday 23 August, Emmanuel Macron returned to topics that he had been cautiously addressing for some time, such as the recent riots that hit France following the death of young Nahel, killed by a police officer after he refused to obey, last June. 27. The President of the Republic acknowledged that "an enormous wave of violence, mimetic violence" and that a "desire for revenge" had hit the country.
The Head of State thus shared his desire to "civilize" a part of the population. “The vast majority of those arrested come from single parent families or child care facilities. […] What happens is that there is an unresolved relationship between some young people and the authorities”, he argued, referring to an “integration problem”, rather than immigration.
At the same time, however, with these words, the President acknowledges that his previous and current mandates have been a failure in the relationship with young people, who have become barbaric because they do not feel the French identity as their own, many of whose symbols have been demolished.
Significantly reduce illegal immigration
On immigration, Emmanuel Macron said the country is not "overwhelmed". "It's wrong to say," he insisted, because "the people most detached from our values are often born here." However, he acknowledged to the magazine the need to "significantly reduce immigration", and more particularly so-called "illegal" immigration. Words that contradict each other and contradict the facts seen in the latest riots in the banlieu, where there was the clear sensation that the government had completely lost control .
As regards the immigration bill, which will be discussed this autumn, the President of the Republic said he was ready to "enrich the government's text", in particular with the recommendations of the Republicans, in favor of a tightening of the text , in order to avoid recourse to article 49-3, i.e. approval without parliamentary passage. However, he does not exclude the idea of resorting to the "instruments of the Constitution" and affirms that he "does not prohibit anything".
The French are increasingly tired of Macron and his method of authoritarian government, which imposes a strange ecological liberal-socialism to the detriment of the poorest economic groups, all through the impositions of the executive power. This is also seen in the polls which see the majority of the population in favor of a return to the pure parliamentary system, abandoning presidentialism.
This change of position has a double meaning for Italy:
- immigrants entering the river from Lampedusa will no longer be able to easily transit through France;
- those who want presidentialism must remember that the double shift risks dissatisfying the majority of the population and becoming democratically unacceptable, as is happening in France.
